Paul McCloy is quite a distinguished runner from Newfoundland, CA. Due to his... err, "distinct" form, he was nicknamed "Two-Lanes McCloy", since, supposedly, to pass him on the track, one had to move out two lanes to get around his chaotic flailing.

-Competed in 10,000 metres at 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea
-1987 World Track and Field Championships in Rome
-1987 World Cross Country Championships placed 8th in 1986, the best performance every by a male Canadian.
-16-time world cross-country Canadian team member
-Winner of three major American road races - 12K Octoberfest in Chicago, 1986; 10K in California with a Canadian road record time of 27:48 in 1986l; the Milk Run 10K in Boston in 1990.
-Seven-time Canadian cross-country championship winner.
-Won Canadian 10,000-metre championship in 1985, '86 and '898.
-Won the 5,000-metre championship in 1987.
-Three time Canadian interuniversity cross-country champion.
-Seven-time St. John's Athlete of the year winner (first time in 1979, last time in 1990)

Now, I've heard endless stories about his organized-chaos style of running, but I've never seen it.
Videos, anyone?
Also, I hear malmo's got a funny story involving McCloy... let's hear it, malmo!
